Abstract

Given a set of n points in R^3, the problem is to find a

pair farther from each other than any other pair. An optimal
randomized algorithm by Clarkson and Shor (1989) has so far
resisted derandomization with optimal O(n log n) running time.
I'll present a new optimal randomized algorithm that can be
easily derandomized, using now standard techniques, while
achieving optimal running time.
